What causes this issue?

The program PTRV_TRAVEL_EXISTS has tried to set the Travel Management
Extension (EA-TRV) to active. This process triggers the activation of
BC Set &v1&. The activation of this BC Set was terminated and the data
contained in the BC set was not written to the database, or it was only
partially saved.

System Response

The application could not be fully activated. This means that some of
the functions may not be activated or may not be available for use.

How to fix this error?

Note down the name of the BC Set that caused processing to be
terminated (&v1&). Call up Transaction SCPR20 in client &v2& and enter
the name of the BC set. From here, goto the log display (CTRL + F2).
Once you have evaluated the information in the log and corrected any
problems that occurred you have to restart the activation of the BC set
in Transaction SCPR20. To do this, return to the initial screen for
Transaction SCPR20 and choose F7.
